He is not reckless like Dmitri, nor is he a spiritual idealistic. Rather, he strives to be the judge of his own actions and stand on the pulpit of righteous at the same time. Ivan rejects all higher orders, and instead sets up the individual man as the sole judge of what is right and wrong, independent of any system of religious…

He was born into an orthodox Jewish family, and his exposure to the Jewish faith deeply influenced…

When Jacques the Anabaptist first appears in Candide, he immediately starts to help. “The orator`s wife thrust her head out of the window and seeing a man who did not believe that the Pope was AntiChrist, she poured on his head a full… O Heavens! … A man who had not been baptized, an honest Anabaptist named Jacques, saw the cruel and…

Antony is a master of rhetoric, so it comes to no surprise that he was able to convince the crowd that they must kill Brutus and the rest of Caesar´s killers. To sway the crowd to his side Antony used several forms of rhetoric, and he was able to slip into their minds and convince them of what he wanted. Right off the bat Antony approached the crowd respectfully and fairly, demonstrating perfect ethos, and then he went on to try and jab at the people with emotional strategies, attempting to draw…
